THAMES HOUSE, MILLBANK LONDON, S.W.1 Telephone: VICTORIA 1441 Head Office: 135 EAST 42ND STREET NEW YORK, U.S.A Swdll 23rd October, 1936. L. H. {Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Swindall Esq., Experimental Department, Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, DERBY. Dear Mr. Swindall, I wish to acknowledge, with thanks, receipt of your letter of the 22nd October. I had already received one valve from you; do I understand that the two you have sent are extra to this one? As soon as these valves come to hand I will send them to our laboratory in Detroit for their remarks and examination. The valve steel, the analysis of which you give in your letter, is, I presume, the successful Silchrome No.1 material which Mr. Robotham told me about. The specification appears to be up to the standard of a good Silchrome No.1. Again many thanks for writing me on this matter, Yours sincerely, [Signature] FRB/BB | ||
